Calendar / Card elements for application builder

I’m surprised it’s not already available in reality. As I can’t find any trace of it on Gitlab or in the requests here, I’m wondering.

Is this planned?

Hey @bastien, I’ll check with the Application Builder team about this. We’ll get back to you soon. :open_hands:

Hey @bastien :wave: , these features are part of our long-term internal roadmap. However, they are not yet available in GitLab, as we still need to address some fundamental features first. Feel free to open these if you want to add details it would be very interesting.

@jrmi should I open a ticket on Gitlab ? I am not sure how it works. I thought tickets were only for bugs.

Yeah totally. Tickets are for everything. Some of them are bugs, some of them are features. if you want to take some inspiration you can check this one Add payment integrations to builder (#2835) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab (from another of your comment :wink: ).

As an alternative, you can also drop the description of the issue here and I can create it for you if you prefer.

I suppose I’d rather post it here, given that I’m more involved as a member of the community than as a development collaborator. It also allows me to debate with other users of the feature.

For me, the Calendar and Gallery views are essential in the application I’m proposing. Unfortunately, I can’t offer the interface to my customers without these two views, because my service includes appointment management and tracking of the content of these appointments.

Airtable’s interface is a good example of this. You can insert a calendar module that will reflect a list of records attached to a date. You can also open the calendar slots and see a pop-up window providing the details you want to show. On Airtable, there are two levels of pop-ups, which I don’t find very intuitive. You click once for a list of details, then a second time if you want more. I think a single pop-up in the form of a side bar to the right of the calendar would be enough to show the details you want.

The same reasoning applies to the Gallery view. And also to Kanban, Timeline, etc.

To take the Calendar a step further, and assuming that Calendar-type forms will emerge, we could imagine something that starts to resemble online booking tools such as Calendly or Savvycal.

What Baserow could bring to these leading online booking tools is the ability to provide customised elements for our appointments and allow us to build archives and precise monitoring of the work attached to these appointments. This would make it possible to build Doctolib-type applications, which are very difficult to reproduce in no code at the moment.
